This is a no fee, no shirt, no aid, no whining type event,
so plan on carrying your favorite method of hydration and some energy grub as
well! -- (And, of course) This is not a race but rather just a fun run intended
to count towards Marathon Maniacs/Half Fanatics and other tallies.

That being said, our goal is to have an aid station at the
start and at the turnaround, stocked with your typical ultra fare. There are some bathrooms along the course,
and a few water fountains, but you should carry what water and snacks you need. This course is open to traffic so keep your
eyes peeled and exercise caution.

Here are the preliminary results for the 2014 West Seattle Fat Ass 25/50K.

There were 181 runners total, spread over three start times, so unsurprisingly we got a little overwhelmed with our low tech paper and pen and stopwatch timing system. Please look over your time. If something looks weird, i.e. you ran the 50K and we only have your 25K time, we have the wrong start time for you, we have the wrong finish time (according to your gps device), or we have no time for you at all, then please email us at wsfarun@gmail.com so we can fix it.

One of our beloved volunteers and our (former) intrepid race
director/leader have decided to follow their dreams and move on to new careers
and aren’t going to be available for the event, so if you are looking for a
volunteer opportunity we could use a couple of people.

There is no fee for this fun run, but if you’d like to
donate we will have a can out. We had to reserve the picnic shelter this year
and we plan on continuing Nic’s donations in honor of his friend to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
